Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl has just started attending kindergarten. This week, she has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. Additionally, yellow earwax has been flowing out. She also has poor appetite and a sore throat. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it's otitis media in children, can be given some antibiotics to the child, which is relatively effective. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents can appropriately give some analgesics to relieve it. If the child has a fever, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. If it is severe, it should be sought medical attention as soon as possible. Otitis media is characterized by recurrent attacks. If there is a eardrum perforation, it needs to be treated in a timely manner. During the treatment period, it is necessary to give the child more nutrition, with a diet mainly light, and pay attention to getting more rest and avoiding fatigue.
